29/04/22-Blog 1 of 2: Bosherston Lily Ponds and the cottage

It was another lovely morning in Pembrokeshire, taking in the Marloes clock chiming a charming sound this holiday, admiring the oleander, daffodil, ivy-leaved toadflax and other plants and green leaves and blossom and seeing Goldfinch well in the cottage garden, Pied Wagtail on the roof and crows in the field behind. I enjoyed seeing Swallows from the cottage tonight and on our last evening here achieved a goal of getting a photo of them. 

We spent our last day in Pembrokeshire visiting some locations in the Stackpole area we went in 2017 which were new to us then, starting with Bosherston Lily Ponds which we had lovely long walk around today. It was so nice to see the large ponds surrounded by lovely green vegetation and some colourful blossom with some nice looking lilies on and below the surface we saw on another gloriously sunny day we have been so lucky with the weather this week. I took the first, third, fourth, sixth and ninth pictures in this photoset of views here today. The second picture in this photoset shows some lillies below the surface.

On a walk around the lily ponds area it was clear early on it was going to be a really good insect and flower day. I saw my first ever wild garlic a sweet white flower at the car park area which was beautiful and extensive there were many about a flower I had hoped to see for a while. I was excited to see some early purple orchid beside the ponds an amazing flower which I have known for so long and always love seeing it’s such a stunning flower and a strong one for this time of year we had seen some by the road on the way here. Also of note was my first yellow iris of the year another flower I would expect in coming weeks at home that is out here now this is in the ninth photo. I also liked seeing my first ever of nice yellow flower some raddish or mustard a pretty yellow one, many herb-Robert, violets, cleavers, daisy, dandelion, primroses and I reflected on how with trips away combined with home and everywhere a little different for flowers I have been seeing these all year really so far probably seeing them in each month so far which is great and interesting, ivy-leaved toadflax, dazzling lesser celandine and buttercup in the sunlight, bluebells, speedwell, cow parsley and thrift and squill at the beach area in this walk.

It was also brilliant to see some Common Blue Damselfies, my first of the year and first identified damselfly or dragonfly of 2022, another exciting moment to add to this holiday. And we got another exciting moment when we saw two minute butterflies flitting down into vegetation by the ponds, a Small Blue butterfly our first this year of this butterfly we are fond of. I took the fifth picture in this photoset of it.

Alongside seeing friendly Robins as my Mum and her partner finished lunch at the car park on the picnic benches and cracking Blackcap and Whitethroat views, we saw another bird this holiday for the first time this year. We heard the scratchy tune of a Reed Warbler, and then I was so thrilled to see its sun kissed brown plumage and distinctive light white throat. A special moment to see this key spring time bird. Yet another bird year tick this holiday we have got so many and yet another we didn’t expect but would have been a big target when home so it feels efficient. This takes my bird year list to 165. After three hirundine and three tern species consecutively on my year list over the Easter weekend that’s now three warblers in a row I have ticked.

 At the coastal part of the walk centring on Broad Haven South Beach I loved taking in the sand (even taking a closeup photo of it with my macro lens the eighth in this photoset), sand dunes, a pool, cliffs and gorse clad rocks. We also saw here a landmark we loved seeing here last time and it was shown on the brilliant BBC series ‘Wonders of the Celtic’ deep, the distinctive Church Rock towering above the sands. It was lovely to take in this really imposing structure again and enjoy some time on the beach again.

We then had a look at a former quarry type area that we enjoyed seeing last time when we came especially for butterflies and dragon/damselflies with pools and slopes and nice bits of grass. And we were delighted to find via talking to a lovely couple of gentleman who we had a great chat with that it was a great butterfly spot. We were thrilled to see two more brilliant butterfly species for the first time this year here, exciting Dingy Skipper and Common Blue the latter we saw here later in the year in 2017. It was so great to see them still and flying, and also see a Small Copper or two bright red butterflies. This was a special area to explore and it also held smashing flowers like viper’s-bugloss, eyebright, oxeye daisy and pretty bird’s-foot trefoil. The first two some more firsts of the year for me and all what I consider quite later spring/summery flowers. There was some nice little spurge, some dock coming through I believe, a dandelion type flower and possible common rock rose and more here too.

The three butterfly year ticks took my year list to 15, ahead of where I was at this stage last year. The three and Small Copper seen earlier this week at Llangloffan Fen too felt really efficient to see as they are the butterflies we would be looking to see at home this time of year. So in this warm and sunny weather it feels so good to see a few targets. That said I checked and Common and Small Blue were both my earliest ever sightings of the species in a year and both the first time I’d seen them in April in fact which shows the variation in how butterflies behave in different parts of the country which is interesting with these out earlier than we have seen at home. The seabirds were obviously the focus this week but I knew Pembrokeshire has a great mix of habitats so wondered if we might use that to sneak a few needed butterflies in whilst away and I am so happy we managed it with some special species. We got talking to two lovely couples both of whom were on the boat to Skomer with us yesterday which was great. A brilliant day out at this lovely wild place.

Camping trip to the south of Wales; like real south! Such an amazing walk; so nice to escape the city with @thestephensonuk and have campfires and beach walks and try throw rocks in that lagoon to make a "plop" sound. Such a great way to spend Easter! #personal #bosherston #wales #camping (at Bosherston)
